Crysis for Windows

Pros: Excellent graphics, interactive environment, good story with great cinematic, realistic weapons
Cons: Very demanding ... especially CPU & GPU, stereotypical enemy (Koreans) acting, average shooter gameplay

Pros: Lush environments, beautiful terrain, epic sound, high production values, fun gameplay
Cons: Annoying A.I., PC hog, multiplayer is a little lagging

As the title implies, Crysis is developed by Crytek, makers of Far Cry, using the Cry Engine 2. Wow I didn't know it was possible to overuse the word "cry." Anyway, is it as good as Far Cry? That depends on who you ask, but the game does deliver in ...

Pros: If you've got a $2500 Supercomputer with a 22"monitor, Crysis will blow you away.
Cons: Affording the hardware neccesary might require you to sell your family into slavery.

As much as I am excited by First Person Shooters, the month of November 2007 was ridiculously laden with them to the point where I am almost sick to my stomach of hunting aliens, Arabs, Russians and any other digital enemy that turns my crosshair red ...

Pros: Amazing graphics, great game play, and involving story.
Cons: Alien enemy AI is a little lackluster, steep requirement.

First of this game is a first person shooter, and it has fairly high system requirements to play it. Story: The story for Crysis is pretty good; although it’s not completely original it is played out well and keeps you interested throughout the game. ...

Pros: GREAT graphics, fun shooter
Cons: AI not the best, can get lost

I have been playing first person shooters (FPS) for a while now and I really enjoyed Crysis. The game is your typical bad dude special ops person that is sent into a hot spot to do something (rescue some scientists) and ends up encountering some bad ...

Pros: Graphics, sound, AI, freedom, customization
Cons: Need a beast of a computer to run it, not knowing where to go.

Pros: Incredible photo realistic envirements
Cons: needs a beast of a machine to fully see the beauty.

The Developers at CRYTEK have created another masterpiece after the Success of FarCry. Crysis is visually stunning and shows what future PC'S Games will look like. Current High end machine have trouble maxing out graphics with this Game, but if you want ...

Pros: Graphics, gameplay, and customizing.
Cons: Takes quite a computer to run, an 8800 is almost required.

Not your typical shooter, to say the least. This is one of the better games of the past 3 years at least. This game not only features fun gameplay and new game elements but it provides a new stepping point in graphical advances. This game looks real, ...

Pros: Excellent graphics, fun single player, ending was the best
Cons: Multiplayer may disappoint

Crysis is a great action game for those looking excellent graphics and fun gameplay. The storyline is not bad, and the ending was one of the most impressive parts. The aircraft carrier portion of the game was highly detailed and perhaps the best part of ...

Pros: Ridiculously good graphics, awesome weapons, awesome interactiveness, great customization of weapons and game modes
Cons: Terrible AI, Graphics are too good for any budget system

Crysis was an extremely engrossing game that many consider game of the year. However, there was one major con to the game: the AI. The artificial intelligence of Crysis was so terrible at points that you could stare your enemies in the face without being attacked. YouTube offers many videos demonstrating this. Crysis does, however, offer the best graphics of any game around. I loved the customization and different allowable strategies. No game is ever the same, and if you restart a level it will be different every single time. I would very highly recommend this game, although it is not game of the year. It may be runner up, though. It still gets ten stars from me.
Another amazing part of Crysis was the intense graphics. I have an 8800GT 512 MB superclocked graphics card, and Crysis's optimal settings system put me on medium. When you shoot trees, they fall. As you walk through grass, it moves and makes sounds according to your walking patterns. While this is awesome for extremely high performance machines, unless you have $1600 in graphics cards it won't be on the highest settings.
